We've invested quite a lot in trying to communicate with other ape species. There's very little to show for it. Koko the signing gorilla is the biggest success and 1) that was conducted hugely unethically 2) had a closely-involved researcher/caretaker/interpreter. Without the lead researcher communication was very limited.
